KINGSTON, APRIL 5.---Accounts from the Ha vannah state, that in consequence of orders, which had been transmitted by the Supreme Junta, that every Frenchman should leave Cuba within a speci fied time, the Governor of the Havannah had issued a Proclamation on the 23d ult. directing all inhabi tants of that uaiion in the town to depart within se ventten days, and' in the country within twenty. five days. The Proclamation had, such an instanta neous effect, that many, immediately began to seek refuge on - board the British and American vessels in . the harhpur. - Orify afterwards a rabble, consisting prlncipally of the lower order of . Spaniards, sallied forth, and commenced the most desperate albs, by destroying the dwellingsof those people, and ,committing every excess. Many houses were demolished, and several Frenchmen killed and wounded. ,Affairs having assumed a very serious aspeet, the Governor was com pelled to issue another prOclama i tion; threatening the rioters with ,the severest punishment. Tranquility was It last restored, except in the interior, where great 'consternation prevailed, many estates having been' destroyed. According to accounts from Caraccas, bythe . way of the island of Trinidad, a combination existed among several Officers, acid some of the principal characters, to establish an Independent Government there ; but the people rose in the cause of Fia.4.

Lieutenant CitoYbort, of the Royal. Marines, and six men, Were slightly wounded in the boats. The ,aurora frigate, - of 28 guns, 'Capt. DUHR, sailed on Thursday on a cruize. Trie\cledion of a Representative in Assembly for the parish of. St. David, in the room of Wm.

That we will persevere in that just arid honour. able course which has already co►npelled the Adrhit►istration of ilia General Governn►ent abitsi to that beetle sytitern by which they intended to lead the Nation into an unnecessary and ruinous war. Resolved, That as on the one hand it would be improper to arraign the motives of any administration after it hactua. f!sfaelority proved its wisdom its patriotism, and its impart tialtiy tbwaids foreign uations, so on the other it would be it; 3sss liiesk and in its 'consequences pernicious to yield in stant belief to those - whose pait conduit has been so servile to one nOon, so hostile to another, and su 10001111 to our own.

We therefore insert the foll Owing extra& of R letter which tends, to throw some light on the subject, otter her voyage from Bombay to China. The letter in question is from Lieut. Ross, of the Bombay blaine, who commanded the!Anie4ape, seat to explore the shoals Of the .Paracels, in the Chinese Seas, and the Su• periotendant of .Marine at Bombay : • " Bombay Merchants shoal, or Tay-10-quing of the Pilot. This shoal, from reasons stated in my letter, was not examined. Our pilot describes it as triangular, abci .too shallow ,for a ship: to anchor on.. He tecolleeis that about eight or nine years ago, when the fishing season' commenced, which is about time month of January, there was found the wreck of a very large ship on this shoal, whose crew they could not account for, but Opposed they must have , perished. Tt u ship is rtited to have been very large, and loaded, with cotton also 'that she • had a number •of guns, and tho4e of a great size. - It is djnicult to conjecture % hat this ship could have been,.uniesi .thu lion.

Mestc.—The admirable series of Concerts under the direCtion of Mrs. BirAtNarow, NALDI, and BRAH,tim . , closed for the season last night at WlLtas's Room . The Duke Of CAMBRIDOE, the IJuchess of YuRK., and a numerous assemblage at fashionable visitors were present. Mrs. BILLINOTON was ex. trcrnely excellent in an air by HEMMEL. A doer, composed by J. B. .S.tia,a, was finely sung by NAJD' 011d-BRAny.t, and was encored, and so was a glee cninprised by. Mr. KING, and admirably swig by BRAHAM, , VAUGHAN, and BIILLAMY. SIBUNIALI.Jed the general treat. - Miss FlOotias is a very itnproving performer. , A new Concertante, for the violoncello, afforded foll.scope to the ta lents of WEICHSELL and LINDLRY, and was a de 'perforniance. The Concert, altogether, teas Worthy -of the high characters of the presiding performers, and of the liberal patrona k ie which has tktiebdesi ,it, , Mr. WADE, of Berbice, who lately arrived - in this country from Norway, makes a very favourable report of the disposition of the Norwegians tOwards Great Britain but the despotism of their Danish MaSters'terrifies -them from'any open avqwal of their sentiments. The existing Government of Norway' is vested in three persons, the Prince of HoLitEIN SLESWICK; and the Counts Movrka and R 08424-. CRANTZ. Mr. WADE describes the Prince as week, capricious, and violent, but the Counts Mos.Taa and RONENOANTZ are men of sound judgment and ex tensive benevolence. • The • intetior of Norway sut lers dreadfully from the want of corn but that lir . tide:finds its way to the seaports, where, however, it is extravagantly dear. No articles of British Ma canbeprocured in any part of Norway, Hot oven pins or, needles fir the Ladies, who feel touch 1110 WSW of those articles ; nor is it poisible, at .this time, ''orally Gentleman to procure anew coat iu any pat tof the country. Bnt accotiling to this Gen tletnan's report, there ,is nothing that excites such toad complaints as the scarcity of tobacco. Mr. WAnE was arrested in Christiana, ott his way to Russia, when the war broke out, and has received the ttiost getwous treatment, both from the Govern• anent and the people. The Royal Assent by. Commission was on Satin day given to the Fill for enlarging and improvin the Pier of this Town. A twraber of vessels hat' already arrived laden with stonl, for the purpose, an every thing qgw bids fair for the accomplishment so desirable In obje6t. That part of High-strei so materially injured by the storm of January lanE has been wonderfully improved by the erection of new jetty, and the removal of the old bathing rooms, which makes a considerable addition to th width of the street. The packet-boats to and fro! London sail daily, and in general bring from fifty t eighty passengers each trip; • BETTISON'S Library, in Hawley-squarejs undo going a thorough repair. Pawrrart and' Boos FIELD'S has also been beautified and, improved, b, the additiop of an elegant and commodious reading room, which has long been much wanted. GAB NER still enjoys his health and humour, with whicl he has delighied his friends and the company to many years past. On Monday the Anglesea Militia tnar'cli'ed ii here, and the town . will. be enlivened with, tbeil band the ensuing season. The mackarel-boats have been very snccesJiii they are selling four and five for a shilling. • A considerable number, of the large houses are already taken for The Summer. The late fine %ye' tiler has afforded the visitors an opportunity oral" joying the delightful scenes with. which the country round Margate abounds more than any wire: . viter" 'log place in the Kingdom. A small part of . the ship /Pir/poie still renrilm where.she was unfortunately wrecked in February last. Tna TIIRItTRE.—An. Mr. LEWIS, the ABor, announced his intention of taking have of the stag.' last night, the Haymarket Theatre was completely filled at an early hour, and a vast crowd that throne . ed to the Theatre were obliged to' return withal' any chance of admission. The charateer which the` excellent Atior performed on this occasion was' Thi Copper Captain, and his merits in it are so well known, that it is only necessary to observe that I ' 4 seemed resolved, notwithstanding the state of hill private feelings, to leave upon the public ttiiiiti vivid impression of his professional excellence. In' deed, we never saw him support the part Willi More spirit, judgment, and characteristic precision..--The part of Leon. was performed for the first time by Mr. YOUNO, who displayed the energy and good sense which usually mark his tiding.

Tuft address Lewis delivered with very strong mat ks of agitation, but 'without any indication of unmanly weakness. r He was heard with aniawlel, silence, except in those parts which we have noticed; • and the effect was very powerful upon the feeling s of the audience. Many were deeply elected in duo takinga final leave of a 1" , .3 - foriner who had so ilotig and sy.ernitteutly centribtited to increase the public stock of harmless pleasures." Though, the . talents of Mr. Lewis are so wel l known to the public, we may be permitted , 00 the i present eccasion, to say a few words on his qlteu(lrct ter as an attar.
